I'm looking for a remote for my Mother-in-law that needs to be really, really easy to use for her Sky+ and BluRay player.

At the moment to swap between the 2 HDMI inputs she needs to press Input> Right arrow for the BR and then Input> Left to get back to the TV but as she is 94yo she has trouble with selecting even just those 2 buttons.

The remote I'm after would have a button marked DVD ( that would also swap the inputs) and a button marked TV (for the Sky) and volume up/down and channel up/down buttons and that's all.

She doesn't use the Sky+ as a PVR due to above difficulties so any other functions are not required.

I've spotted this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/1073823.htm but I think the DVD button just turns the remote functions into a DVD remote and the TV button just controls the TV but does not change the inputs.

I use the Harmony 515 which has macros that can do the switching but even the one above has more buttons than she will need.

Any ideas?
